When he summons the man, Anshel Wasserman, to his office, he discovers that Wasserman was the author of Neigel's favorite book series as a child: The Children of the Heart. He makes a deal with Wasserman: Wasserman will tell him new adventures of The Children of the Heart, a chapter each night, and in return Neigel will try to kill Wasserman, who wants to die.
